ABSTRACT:
A connector for retaining metal terminals in a dual manner. The connector includes a connector housing (A) having terminal receiving chambers (3) therein. The connector housing includes a flexible retaining arm (9) extending from one wall (8) of the chamber for retaining the metal terminal (C), with a flexing space (10) being formed between the flexible retaining arm and the one wall. Additionally, the connector housing includes a fixed retaining projection (7) formed on another wall (6) opposed to the one wall. A retainer (B) is connectable to a front end of the connector housing and movable from a provisionally-connected condition to a completely-connected condition. In the provisionally-connected condition the metal terminal is retained by the retaining arm, and in the completely-connected condition the retainer is received in the flexing space to deflect the flexible retaining arm toward the other wall, to engage the metal terminal with the fixed retaining projection.
